Welcome to my "Sound Click" web pages. I am a Storyteller and a psalmist , a talker of music. and a writter. Please visit my Home Page at www.countrylovin.us or go to my link page here on SC and click on the link there. All my web pages are family safe,so please feel free to email my links to your family and friends. Here is a little about myself: TOM TRIPP's love for country music can be traced back to his growing up on a small Kansas dirt farm. Tom was the youngest of seven children. His father was a storyteller (as his father was, and his father before him). Tom's father and mother both worked hard to keep their family fed. At the end of a long day, his father would sit next to the old coal-burning stove and tell stories about growing up in the coalfields of southeast Kansas, and of his many adventures in life. Tom learned the art of storytelling at an early age in life, and it can be heard in the stories and songs he writes today. Tom has traveled across every state in the USA but two... Alaska and Hawaii. When asked why he hasn't visited those states yet, Tom just smiles and says: "I always leave the best for last, and my life is far from over." Tom has looked down upon this old earth from the top of the Rocky Mountains. He has watched the sun rise and set over two oceans. He has traveled through the hot desert and walked upon the frozen ponds of the northland, but he has always returned to Kansas... the place where he hangs his hat. Tom Tripp is the proud parent of 4 grown children , Jason , Chris , Nicole and Gina and a Grandfather of 4.

Story behind the song
This was written and originally recorded by a Country singer named Don Gibson in 1958. It was released as the B-side of his #7 hit "Oh Lonesome Me," which he wrote the same day.... In Memoriam Don Gibson April 3, 1928 - November 17, 2003 US Country Legend Don Gibson Dies Legendary Country singer and songwriter Don Gibson died of natural causes Monday at a Nashville hospital. He was 75 years old. Gibson helped create the "Nashville Sound," a more polished style with pop elements that helped rejuvenate Country music's popularity in the 1960s. Nicknamed "the sad poet," Gibson wrote songs that were typically centered on loneliness and lost love. Don Gibson arrived on the Country music scene in the late-1950s with a new generation of Country singer-songwriters, who wrote simple melodies with strong emotions. Born in Shelby, North Carolina, in 1928, he began performing on a local radio station with his first band, The Sons of the Soil. Respected for his unique singing and guitar styles, Gibson made his biggest mark in Country music as a songwriter. In 1955, he earned his breakthrough with Sweet Dreams, a classic he recorded twice. Gibson made his Country chart debut with the Top 10 song in 1956. Four years later, he had equal success with his second version. Several other singers had hits with Sweet Dreams, most notably the late Patsy Cline, whose version brought Gibson to the attention of the Nashville music industry, and led to a songwriting deal with Acuff-Rose Publishing. In 1957, he wrote two songs that became popular standards in American music, I Can't Stop Loving You and his long-running Number One Country single, Oh Lonesome Me. Since then, hundreds of artists have recorded the tunes, which have sold in the tens of millions worldwide. In 1958, Gibson became a member of the Grand Ole Opry. But, troubled times followed. Throughout the 1960s, he battled drug and alcohol abuse, and became so disenchanted with the music business that he moved back to North Carolina in 1967. There, he met his second wife, who helped him overcome his addictions. In 1972, he returned to the top of the Country chart with Woman (Sensuous Woman). Aside from making hit records, Don Gibson's other musical achievements included induction into the Nashville Songwriter's Hall of Fame in 1973, and earning a place in the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2001. More than 700 artists recorded Gibson's I Can't Stop Loving You. The most famous is Ray Charles' million-selling pop version that spent five weeks at Number One in 1962. Gibson's own recording of the song was a Top 10 hit in 1958.
Lyrics
I can't stop loving you, so I've made up my mind. To live in memory, of old lonesome times. I can't stop wanting you, it's useless to say, So I'll just live my life, in dreams of yesterday. Those happy hours, that we once knew, Though long ago, still make me blue. They say that time, heals a broken heart, But time has stood still, since we've been apart. I can't stop loving you, so I've made up my mind. To live in memory, of old lonesome times. I can't stop wanting you, it's useless to say, So I'll just live my life, in dreams of yesterday. Those happy hours, that we once knew, Though long ago, still make me blue. They say that time, heals a broken heart, But time has stood still, since we've been apart. I can't stop loving you, so I've made up my mind Pretend there's someone new, I can't live a lie, I can't stop wanting you, the way that I do, There's only been one love for me, That one love is you.
